How greppable and "log -p"-able is the documentation written in LyX?
LyX format is plain text, loosely based on LateX. Here's attached a
sample .lyx file FYI. We have one tag per line and a maximum of 80 char
per line so that the format is easily parsable. Advanced users often use
unix tools (grep, sed, etc) to modify the .lyx file manually.
Is it just me or is the format very hard to read? For example, line
492ff spells a list of quoted items as
Right, quote is a special case in lyx format because we have to take
care of locale differences. So, as you guessed, quotes are not really
written with the ascii quote character. But the format is not that hard
in general. If needed, I could modify this special case so that it's
easier to read though.
Don't get me wrong, I don't pretend that LyX is easy to read for the
untrained eyes, it is not. But simple modifications like Junio's example
is definitely possible. For non simple text insertion, it is better to
launch LyX and to type the modification within LyX. But maybe this is a
showstopper for you, and so is maybe our treatment of quotes. In which
case I'll stop arguying :-)
